Unplugged 5 Undocumented Meals
Unplugging after this post. This blog is going to be for 24 hours. Unplugging is part of Shabbath Manifesto, meaning to stay away from technology. Technology has been overpowering society and our lives. Unplugging encourages people to put down the cell phone, sign out of e-mail and loosen up, as part of National Day of Unplugging. I have decided to unplug from this global world for 24 hours. I am breaking my obsession with the attraction of immediacy in favor of the reward of closeness. I choose to seriously be there with those close to me; to take a stroll and to take pleasure from reading good books, and also to share sacred food with good friends. I think that Shabbat is the logical and needed solution to our globalization lifestyle nowadays. The observance of Shabbat allows us to localize our concentrate for one day each week hard money lenders upon our home, our family and our community. Think about the influence Shabbat might have upon yourself and your family if everyone stopped each week to get in touch with each other; not around the globe, but through the dinner table. Imagine if your children focused with wonderful intensity once a week as they played a game, and not on their computer, but on your own living room floor. Imagine if for one day each week we managed to make it our concern to check-in with our family and the friends and neighbors who create great spiritual communities. However, you don’t microdermabrasion machines need to be Jewish or religious to participate. Therefore, to observe the National Day of Unplugging, I will be sharing some dishes that I never posted on this blog since I never had the chance to take photos of them. Strawberry milkshake in Costa Rica. When we were on tour, we had to stop at a local restaurant where they serve the freshest strawberry milkshake. It tasted like real strawberry, not very sweet, yet not too milky as well. I really like good strawberry milkshake,yet Ihardly ever drink them. Fast food milkshakes are fake-flavored, colored pink, even worse than bad. So the one I had in Costa Rica was the best, so far. Vegetarian tagine. When my metal detector friend and I traveled to Montmarte, we were lost and hungry. So we noticed a litte Moroccan restaurant. I had mint tea – too sweet but cold. Then tagine was served in traditional Moroccan clay pots. Tangine is actually a Moroccan-style stew preparation. It is made up of a variety of vegetables, which includes cauliflower and chickpeas, making for a tasty, stuffing vegetarian meal. You can eat this camcorder stabilizer dish using a fork, but it’s often scooped up with crusty Moroccan bread like semolina bread. Local stir-fried noodles. I am not too much into noodles, but when we went to Shanxi province, we stopped by a small house and were offered by an elderly man some stir-fried noodles. I was hungry, of course, so I finished it. Butternut Squash and Apple soup with Pheasant. Ordered this soup at Blackbird Restaurant in Chicago. Squash and apple puree, with no unwanted tankless water heaters add-on of cream, was fairly sweet and tasty, but strongly studded with croutons and shreds of natural pheasant. The Butternut Squash Soup really knock off my feet. Salmon sashimi. I went to Ajihei in Princeton and I must say that the restaurant is one of those places that is usually never open and situated beneath street level. The food was wonderful. Spider and salmon skin rolls tasted to good. It was at Ajihei that I experienced the perfect salmon sashimi I have ever tasted in my life.It turned out so marbled with fat that are nearly stripey, so rich and creamy that I want to order it again.
